Excellent tour with Barti, who was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. We were lucky enough to be driven alongside the camel racing track in one of the camel owner's car, not once but 3 times! After the racing Barti took us to the training track and 2 of the group were given permission to go for a short ride on one of the racing camels. All in all a memorable experience.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Mala
It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. Thank you for choosing me to your guide.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Barti was a excellent guide. The camel races were a great thing to see when you are in Dubai. You get to see this local tradition up close. Barti explained the whole process and we were able to see the races from the starting line, the finish line and he even arranged for us to go in the tv car around the track during a race. That was really cool! Barti made our day at the camel races a day we won't forget! I would highly recommend him.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Shauna
Thank you for your kind words. It was indeed a pleasure meeting you both and thank you for choosing me. Good to learn from your insight about Tesla. Thank you for your generosity.

Pick up was exactly as described and the vehicle was clean and ideal for 4 of us. Barti was quite reserved initially but spoke excellent, easily understandable English and pointed out places of interest as we left Dubai City. However once we got to the camel racing, he totally came into his own - we had a fantastic visit, there was never any hurry, he answered all our questions and he was very entertaining and amusing. He loves England and enjoyed learning more about it. Thank you sooo much.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Stephen, Judy, John, Angie,
Thank you very much for choosing me to be your private tour guide. It was indeed a pleasure meeting you all and enjoyed the discussion and learnt from you. Your trip to UAE 25 years ago was so much interesting to know.

I cannot say enough good things about Barti and this tour! He was able to give me quite a lot of background information on camels in Emirati culture, as well as other, non-camel customs and tradition info. He seems to know everyone at the DCRC and the track, and provided the best vantage points, information, and timing to make the experience excellent! I'm looking forward to another trip to Dubai so I can book his fishing village tour.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Layni,
Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you and I was able to share my local knowledge. I hope to see you again soon. Thank you for choosing me as your tour guide once again.

I was very tight on time for the camel races since they often change schedules at the last minute. Thankfully Barti was incredible with his timely communication with me and I was able to make it to see the camel races. Barti is an amazing tour guide and a true gentleman. Very knowledgable about his tour. Highly recommend! Camel Races are a must see for your next trip to Dubai!!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Steven,
Thank you for your kind words and it was a pleasure meeting you and being your guide for the Camel races in Dubai. The camel race we were able to tour is a special race for the season and I am so glad we were able to fix the schedule to meet your deadline and was even able to see up close the Crown Prince of Dubai as well along with Royal Camels racing that day.

Barti's camel race tour was tge highlight of our 2 weeks in the Gulf Area. No one should miss it. He made it fun, interesting and very entertaining. Well worth the very early wake up.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Bill,
Thank you for your keen interest to see the not so touristy side of Dubai which is Camel racing and I am glad it was worth the wait. Thank you both for choosing me as your tour guide and thank you for your kind words.

A wonderful morning at the races with Barti. He is so knowledgeable not only about the races but the culture as well. I've been wanting to see the camel racing since I moved to Dubai almost 4 years ago and I wasn't disappointed. A wonderful cultural experience for both residents and visitors.

Barti provided a great tour for me and my three young children (ages 2, 4, 6). I would highly recommend him as a knowledgeable guide and the camel races as a good tour for young children. It was the only tour during our trip which was both very child friendly and where I felt like I was seeing a very authentic part of Dubai and Middle East culture.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Meghan,
Thank you for choosing me as your guide. It was indeed a pleasure to meet you and your wonderful children. Thank you.

Tour: #95900, Camel Racing in Dubai ( only select days of the week from October end 2014), Dubai, United Arab Emirates Date: Jan 15/15

The Camel Racing tour was a highlight of our stay in U.A.E. Barti was an excellent guide. He explained the sport and showed us areas where the camels rested before racing, the race staging area, and the races themselves. We were fascinated by the robotic jockeys with radios attached and controlled by owners in 4X4's outside the track following their camels as they raced.
We, two retired women, felt safe. No bathrooms are available if races on straight track versus at grandstand.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Virginia,
It was a pleasure meeting you both. Thank you for choosing me as your guide.

Melissa O'Donnell

Barti took my family and I to the camel races and did an EXCELLENT job. He answered all of our regular questions including my Dad's more detailed questions about the country/culture. We were impressed with his knowledge. It was an amazing experience. We were able to stand right at the starting line with the camels and workers and watch them be released to start their races multiple times. Barti was the ultimate professional as well as very kind. I'll be passing my review onto my coworkers in the area.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Melissa,
It was wonderful meeting you all and thank you for choosing this tour.
Thank you for your kind words.
